I have wanted something like this for a long time. But the options from others have disappointments that I cannot live with. The Olympus cameras don't have good image quality so far and the Pentax W60 is not as strongly build.

I want to use it in construction, on to the bone wet walks, in the snow of Nothern Finland and snorkling in Egypt. The camera has been rated to 3m, but I have no doubt you can go a bit deeper. If the image quality of other Panasonics is anything to go by, this one should be good too. The video is for me an interesting bonus, not the dealmaker.

Probably as soon as it is in the shop I'll get me one. (and also because my current Fuji P&S is broken).
